SnapRAID - Disks - Remove a data disk from an existing array

Change in the configuration file the related “disk” option to point to an empty directory.

Remove from the configuration file any “content” option pointing to such disk.

Run a “sync” command with the “-E, –force-empty” option:

snapraid sync -E

NOTE: The “-E” option tells SnapRAID to proceed even when detecting an empty disk.

  • When the “sync” command terminates, remove the “disk” option from the configuration file.

The array is now without any reference to the removed disk.
